Wellness Healthy Indulgence Shreds Grain-Free Variety Pack Cat Food Pouches, 3-oz, case of 32

Ok. (gravies/morsels = Dec 2019-Jan 2020, shreds = Feb 2020-Now) I started with gravies because it was the closest texture transition from pate (imo). Not a fan - the ratio of gravy to actual food was not worth the money and it looked like dry food saturated in sauce which expanded in size. Next I moved onto morsels (gravy amount was solidish goopey but there are actual square chunks of food. The issue is they’re too big and that made it hard for my cats to digest. I also noticed some dark grey parts of the square chunks in their green label flavor turkey/chicken. Not sure what that is... but my cats either end up vomiting or just eating half and leaving the rest to dry. Finally I gave shreds Ok.

Not sure what that is... but my cats either end up vomiting or just eating half and leaving the rest to dry. Finally I gave shreds a try, during the time when wellness first introduced their “healthy indulgence” line, “shreds” was a bit more expensive than the other two which played a part as to why I tried it last. Shreds came out like flat noodles which were easily snapped with a single bite. This was a winner in my book as I did not have to worry about them spending a good minute trying to chew a starburst chunk and just focus on eating. The gravy ratio was just right, it’s saucy but not watery or goopey. From then on I’ve placed shreds as their staple food. Everything was fine for the first month until my cats started vomiting together at least once a day, every few hours after feeding. Mind you my cats are 1.5 years old and super healthy. Them vomiting their food together only pointed to one obvious issue. I did an isolation test and fed only the green label for two days and they vomited at least every other feeding throughout. I switched and fed the orange label: tuna and shrimp from day 3 and they were fine. I’ve concluded that it’s got to do with the ingredients. The green label (chicken and turkey flavor) was the culprit. I’m not sure if it’s just being unlucky from a bad batch of ingredients this round or what (the expiration date is oct 2021) but they were vomiting from the same green label flavor in the morsels version earlier as well... So for now I will stick to shreds orange label: tuna and shrimp because I am tired of cleaning vomit off my floors and carpet :) Also, if one of your cat only likes dry food, try mixing it. I put the shreds first as a wet base then sprinkle some dry food as a topping and it works. … more

My animals didn't like either the taste or the size of the shred. Sure wish they could talk!

My cat licks the gravy but leaves much of the meat behind. The leftovers look like a mass of dead worms on a plate.

My picky Maine Coon cats love this food. You can see the bits of vegetables in the gravy. They lick their dishes clean!

My cats love it-really didn’t know how they would approach something different but will surely purchase this again

My cats loved this cat food! The few that have tummy issues had no problem eating and keeping this down.

From the first pouch, my cat has licked his plate clean. He loves both flavors He is a fussy eater and until now he would just pick at his food and never finish So glad I tried this brand

I have been using Wellness for years. It takes awhile for some cats, who have been raised on junk food, to accept it, but our current grey tabby, who adopted us (and is finally an indoor only boy) loved Wellness from the beginning.

Cats love it, they like the flavors and texture. I wish it came in larger boxes so I could store it in the cupboard and order less frequently. I don't really have anything more to say but apparently my review has to be 50 words long.

The first pouch my cat tried he vomited up all over. The second pouch he sniffed at and wouldn't touch. Now I have a case of this to give away. No more Wellness brand for us! Blue Mountain & Pride (by Instinct) seem to be the only brands my cat really loves.
